Hello All, sorry for all the posts... I am *almost* there now...
okay I have this code: import sys, os encoding = locale.getpreferredencoding() htmlpath = os.getcwd() htmlpath = htmlpath.decode( encoding ) ..... write to the file ..... ..... file is written fine, and can be opened by both FireFox and IE and displays fine ... webbrowser.open( htmlpath.encode ( encoding ), True, True ) the line above now works fine (fixed the ascii error) but *NOW* my problem is that FirefOX pops up a message box complaining that the file does not exist, but it certainly does, it just doesn't like what it is called... Any ideas now? Thanks, -Erik -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
